Shreveport Municipal Auditorium Tour: Music History

Shreveport Municipal Auditorium Tour: Music History

Shreveport Municipal Auditorium may be best known as home to the legendary Louisiana Hayride radio broadcast (which helped to launch the career of Elvis Presley following his October 16, 1954 Hayride debut), but the musical history of "the Muni" also includes soul, gospel, rock n' roll, classical music and more. This segment of the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium video tour features archivist Chris Brown, Louisiana Hayride emcee Frank Page, Municipal Auditorium tour guide Teresa Micheels and General Manager Sam Voisin discussing the historic building's role in pop music history.
